1. November 2017. The last of the six bridges I saw during my adventures around Taishun County was perhaps my favorite of them all! Located deep in the arse end of nowhere on the edge of Xiaochun Village, my travel buddy and I had inadvertently stumbled upon both Wenchong and Wenhong bridges while in the process of tracking Wenxing bridge down. But then we finally found it, perched above the Yu Stream, surrounded by gorgeous, autumnal farmland.

5. November 2017. This staircase stands at the far end of the bridge, next to a row of stone tablets detailing the bridge’s history. The steps lead to a tiny hilltop hamlet of just three small farmhouses. There was also an angry dog, which made further investigations unadvisable.
